  2. Defibrillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defibrillation

    Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib) and non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia (V-Tach). [1] [2] A defibrillator delivers a dose of electric current (often called a counter-shock) to the heart.

  3. Automated external defibrillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_external...

    An automated external defibrillator or automatic electronic defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, [1] and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electricity which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re ...

  4. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantable_cardioverter...

    Illustration of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or automated implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) is a device implantable inside the body, able to perform defibrillation, and depending on the type, cardioversion and pacing of the heart.

  5. Subcutaneous implantable defibrillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcutaneous_implantable...

    S-ICD lead and generator position. Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or S-ICD, is an implantable medical device for detecting and terminating ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation in patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest. [1]

  6. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_resuscitation

    The common model of defibrillator (the AED) is an automatic portable machine that guides to the user with recorded voice instructions along the process, and analyzes the victim, and applies the correct shocks if they are needed. The time in which a cardiopulmonary resuscitation can still work is not clear, and it depends on many factors.

  7. Wearable cardioverter defibrillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wearable_cardioverter...

    A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is a non-invasive, external device for patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). [1] It allows physicians time to assess their patient's arrhythmic risk and see if their ejection fraction improves before determining the next steps in patient care.
